An early morning departure meant we didn't sleep great. We were up at 6.30am which is not a time you want cold showers. Well to be fair I don't want anything at 6.30am, except to go back to sleep. We packed our bags & headed for our final awesome meal. We had time to eat, settle the bill & have lunch made for our trip. We were sad to say our goodbyes to Lutz & Mrs Lutz (still didn't learn her name, that's bad) then boarded our boat to head back to the...

Another nice sleep in before we rose to have breaky. I love going to the restaurant here to eat. It is the best feature of where we are & the main reason we didn't change accommodation. We gave Lutz some washing, the last time we will need to get it done on the trip, then feasted on the cooking. Heading back to the hammocks we filled in plenty of time as Jac finished her book. It was about 2pm when we thought we should do something. We walked into town dodgin...

Another good sleep but the sounds of the boats in the mornings have woken us up. The majority are quiet but some are just ridiculously loud.

It was yet another great meal which we washed down with a big dose of lying on their mats beside the table. We broke a hammock...

After a peaceful rest we awoke knowing we didn't have to do much today. We are down to single figure digits of our travels, only 9 days to go. It has been an amazing journey & we can't believe it's nearly over. We had a big breakfast at the bungalows then hired some bikes to explore the island. We headed north along the muddy track past buffalo, cows, geese, chickens, pigs, ducks, cats & dogs. We arrived in the town & had a wander through exploring th...

We were a little worried when we booked our ticket last night as the guy didn't seem too professional. He didn't even want to get us picked up from our hotel until we insisted. So it was with relief that our ride arrived at just after 8am. We were taken to a travel agency until we departed at 9am in an old bus with plenty of leg room. The trip passed quickly as the roads were decent & it was only a 3 hour ride until we arrived at the ferry. After 30 mins of w...
